Randy’s step size
Not so sure Randy Brock’s letter to the local St. Albans Messenger picked up by two or three statewide papers is a “giant” step. He did post it on his FB page but not a tweet that I can find. I agree it should be welcomed as a step in the right direction but seems too compact to be giant size.
And what’s former gov. gentleman Jim Douglas doing as his GOP burns? He wondered about the future in 2013: “Immigrants are among the most patriotic people I’ve met and should be receptive to Republican ideas. Only a party that welcomes them will succeed; otherwise it will be swamped by changing demographics.”
Now former Governor Jim Douglas (and certainly not Phil Scott) are not even taking a Randy Brock-sized step to denounce any of the rampant intolerance on displayed by the GOP presidential want to bes.http://www.vpr.net/episode/55808/douglas-republican-revival/

I wouldn’t call him the “presumptive nominee”. Though there are many signs that that would appear to indicate he’s being taken seriously (access to voter info etc) I believe it to be just going through the motions.

If the party doesn’t at the very least appear to take him seriously it would legitimize an independent run. But in fact there are noises about the party going rogue if he is handed the nom and running a true-blue establishment indy themselves.

Personally continue to gravitate to tea-leaf readers in attempt to receive assurance that it’s not going to happen.

Intemperence alone should preclude him from office therefore the obvious mental illness in the form of delusions (of grandeur) and maniacal behavior more so.

What the party is not getting is their clear disconnect from voters. Ryan going along with Omnibus, passage of TPP will hurt the party. Boehner shitcanned by not standing up to Obama and Ryan thinks this is going to work out for him?
